Summary
There are currently 178 players in the National Basketball Hall of Fame. Anyone of them could be considered the GOAT. There are many players today in the game that have had massive impacts, from Stephen Curry taking the three-point shot to new heights to Russell Westbrook averaging a triple-double twice.
There are players from the past that could be GOATs: Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a game and average 55 ppg in a season. Tiny Archibald led the league in scoring and assist in the same season. Jerry West is literally the logo of the NBA. So maybe we need to take a lesson from The Captian and step back from discussions on goats because when lifting someone up requires destroying another player, we seem more like a donkey than a goat.
